Nothing But Is More
Always able to say, counteracts, having something to say. Push a button get a response is a given in our techno-world. Not so with God. Takes time, takes all we are and got, takes everything. No surprise the floundering church. Moderate social environments -- relative/reasonable -- keep needs for more, muted.
While the age of missing information is in the oversaturation.
Not sure have ever said much at all, yet, could listen to the latest hours of prophetic speculation online and nothing... no sound and convicting messages.
Two directions dominate; all positive -- all negative. Based on assuming God's meticulous and total control of all that happens.
While those freed-up with a rightful 'open theism' perspective, stick to theology. No intentions prophetic to offer. And the closed door in most believing 'the gifts' the early church displayed, ended on the last page of 'Acts'. Crazy-looking and behaving Pentecostal/Charismatics fuelling these perceptions.
Goes along with most of the bods reckoning unseen evil isn't personal. Thereby demons don't exist. So the structures and institutions need deliverance, aka socialism. (In the main, the political bent).
Their other hope is in reforming the church with 'better' theology. If hoping at-all. Or, care so much?
Why does prophecy matter? Like its partner prayer -- it's the unmistakable Biblical witness -- where the action occurs. Church history at its pioneering best is a testimony to this. Matters, because loving people through God, is paramount. The way we achieve this is through constant engagement with God.
The process for change and better goes:
God wants this and that to happen. Speaks to us, we hear, we respond in word and deed. Deeds might be acts and rituals. We sing songs a lot, i.e. praise and worship. Take Bible verses and passages to declare and confess. Receive God's power and proclaim with compassion and faith. Seeking, find direction and waiting-on God -- see fulfilled God's wants. Desires, cry for love and mercy.
And some/me, write/this blog, to go with and help enable.
This/me -- feeling the isolation. Yet, best. As nothing but... is more. Escape the distractions and dig-in is the unmistakable call.
It's quiet before storms and the need to do 'nothing but' as far as practicals allow is upon us. Upon me. That is.
Unseen wild-destructive ones are about widening the gap between reality and deception. Unashamed, blatant through media, the contrasts. It's more than for humans. At least conscious-levels. It's rituals and perverse/reverse prophecy. Hence the battle.
God wants us... needs us, to rise-up with, to take down the idol's edifices. Oh for the next hoax attack and the lifting the veil. Will we have the prayer power to contend? Will we apprehend and be apprehended by God? WE WILL.
The all-sufficient one is calling and waiting.
There's much could write... but better, hear and say/write -- right, when do.
For now.
Against all hope, [Abraham] in hope believed.
